There is a real difference in the words Apostolic and Pentecostal.
Apostolic has to do with Doctrine. Pentecostal has to do with the
experence of receiving the HG. We have given the word apostolic a more
detailed meaning be joining it to Yehoshuha by adding the word Hebrew to
the title of our orginization. Many only seek the HG then set aside the
Apostolic Doctrine. Some a content to live in a vacume, never being sure
they really received the HG. When the experence is received after
knowledge of the Apostloic Doctrine the person receiving the HG is not
likely to question the experence, not so with those who only want the
experence. There is no such thing as a refilling of the HG, G-d dosen't
fly in and out. Convets need to know more about the Apostolic Doctrine.
Yehoshuha defined Doctrine as coming form above, and given to those who
are sent. John 7:16 The Hebrew word wused for Apostle means one who is
sent from the community. All the Apostles are jews. They came from the
same community Yehoshuha came from Hebrews 7:14. For anyone to seperate
themselves from this community is to invite counterfit experences which
many are receiving for the rasons Paul refers to in 2 Thes 2:1-17.
